Ah, I see. Yes, egalitarians (especially hard-core ones) will say that every human being should get the same "distribution of stuff" regardless of what he sows. That's a notable part of communism: "To each according to his needs...". Point taken.
And yet, this is only about economics and material stuff. Lack of connection between sowing and reaping means, for example, that there is no system of justice in the law-and-order sense: murder would go unpunished, etc.
